I don’t think you get it CNN, people are going to get Covid in some degree either now or later. Might as well get it over with and start herd immunity.

Did anyone test the rioters?

I look at this picture and see a host of COVID-19 spreaders.

You all are so damn dumb!

Great event

What happen to all the fires that your so-call journalist were promoting all weekend about the fireworks at Mt Rushmore? FearMongeringCNN

Enemy of the people

Stop helicopter-parenting everyone, mmkay? BTW, how’s that fence around your building working out y’all?

Enemy of the People

cnn just told people to protest and that it didn't spread COVID. proof, cnn is full of shit.

If it was a protest it would be fine! Fuck fake cnn trump2020

Nobody is going to mention the striking color scheme resemblance going on at this rally? All that is missing are some giant swastikas on each side.

Are we all forgetting about the last 5 weeks of riots and looting ?

I am waiting for the fire on Mount Rushmore caused by the fireworks. Hurry up CNN. Don’t wait for too long. You can’t blame the fireworks any more if it’s been too long!

BS

Covid coming

A question to CNN: Where are you from the millions of protests that you supported, did not mention the dangers of the virus, only the goal of CNN to chase President Trump

Nor did the officers in all the Democrat run cities on riot duty

Record high cases in the National Parks, huh? You are an absolute clown network.

Do you?

Who cares CNN - you are so not in touch with what anyone is thinking other than the people who actually believe your bullshit

Not the problem that a month of RIOTERS AND LOOTERS AND MURDERERS PRESENTED:

America's failures are never going to change. Let them die off. No one needs these useless creatures. Let them drool over their cult leader and disappear into their meth labs and trailer parks where they belong. America has two diseases--Covid 19 and fake Conservatism.

Here are some of my thoughts on Independence Day as a past military General who kept all of you alive with my service: 'Independence We Need For Independence Day' I've nothing of value according to the economy. Please donate to me:

Herd immunity will work, in the end.

RACE AND RECKONING Trump’s push to amplify racism unnerves Republicans

All Americans can say is awesome Mr President. It was such a great honor to watch last night

CNN has no 4th of July coverage tonight... wow

Meanwhile black militias are taking the streets, but it's normal to CNN..

That’s called freedom and self responsibility. CNN allowed an infected anchor to go out and maybe spread the Covid and take the lives of New Yorker.

Looks like they are following the behavior of the little pres

Hypocrites = = Hypocrites Just thought you needed a reminder.

Excellent Work

Russia and China governments tells their citizens what to do. If anyone likes having to be told what to do and how. They should move there. I for one rather not to be told

Fuck CNN and anyone that watches them!

Good..its time be done with this fake ass virus..a sniffle is being counted!!

Juneteenth

herd immunity is happening. stop trying to spread fear.

This year, Independence Day celebrations will be held exceptionally on November 3 ... if you don't mind.

Tick tock

The park service majored in the same class as Trump, stupid. They can still be transmitting.

cnn also reports that you can only get the evil corona from Trump rallies and gatherings. Not from protesting, rioting, burning or looting.

cnn = Fake News

The MEDIA is the virus

Um, nobody in south Dakota watches cnn. They are independent hard working individuals.
